in paperback

I know I said I love August, and I do. I just love September so much more. My absolute favorite month of the entire year.

Guess what? Two of the greatest books are now available in paperback.

Nicky Epstein's knitting beyond the edge is filled with just that. All those edge stitches that make a piece look so lovely. More than 150 edging embellishments for cuffs, collars, angles, corners, closures and necklines.
Knit Simple Knitting Workshops is composed of step by step directions for dozens of knitting techniques that can help you through any of your knitting binds. An extremely helpful resource to have around.

I have two of each of the books to giveaway. If interested, leave a comment here before Monday the 5th at noon, and the random number generator will choose 4 names. If you have a preference, please let me know, I will try to accommodate.

Enjoy your long weekend.

(Still waiting for a delivery. I have a good feeling it is coming today.)

Terrific giveaway! I'd particularly like the Knitting Beyond the Edge book, as I frequently check out the books in that series from my local library. The Knitting Workshop looks great, too - I'd be thrilled with either one!

Hi Leslie! I'm still waiting for yarn, too! Dang!!! If it doesn't come by tomorrow, I'll have to wait 'til Tuesday (long weekend and all). That seems like ages to wait!! Thanks for the giveaway. The Knit Simple book would be my first choice, but either would be awesome for the collection. Hope you have a great Labor Day weekend!

September will be one of my favorite months if I win! Actually, october and NOvember will always be my favorites, hands down. I'm very interested in the Simple Knitting workshop book. Thanks again and have a great Labor Day weekend!

Thank you for this generous contest! My preference would be Knitting Beyong the Edge. And well, not that I don't like September, but then it's October, etc. I think May, June, July and August are my favorite months!

thanks for the drawing! Although I would enjoy either book, I have a slight preference for the Knit Simple title because I think it would be helpful in teaching my church knitting group new techniques. Jo

I've been reading your blog for ages and I love the fact that you have all those wonderful books to give away! I've looked at the Knit Simple Knitting Workshop book but have just never broke down and bought it! Perhaps if I don't win one I'll just have to go buy it!!

Just started following you and already a giveaway! Love your blog, and these are both such great books. Especially Knit Simple, since I run into a lot of little binds with my knitting as I try to learn knew techniques. Thanks!

At first I wondered why anyone would want a book on edgings, but then I saw a few reviews for Knitting Beyond the Edge and was amazed at what it had to offer. My mind has been changed! Great giveaway... thanks!!!

Hi Leslie: I love your blog and your style. Your finished pieces have inspired me and after a long hiatus from knitting I am back to knitting like a fiend again. I would be thrilled with either book! Chris M.

Isn't the suspense of waiting for delivery the absolute pits? The roller coaster of anticipation, then the disappointment. It drives me crazy, especially when I miscalculated and didn't have the foresight to order extra the first time and am waiting on a re-order to finish a wip.Wonderful giveaway. Knitting Beyond the Edge is on my Amazon wishlist and am going there now to list Simple Knitting Workshop too. I can always take one off if I get lucky with the contest!

What a nice giveaway. Either book would be wonderful. Such a bummer you're still waiting.. My lys stocks the Berroco which is sometimes "to" easy to find it's way into my knitting bag for another project;)It will be so worth the wait though for you.. Will you being going to Rhinebeck this year? If so is this going to be the sweater you will wear? Have a great weekend and Happy Knitting

oh wow, another fantastic giveaway!! if i was lucky enough to choose i'd probably pick knitting workshops, but i've flipped through knitting beyond the edge before and know it would be very happy in my home as well ;)

I just came across your blog after a meeting with some Bhutanese women living in Oakland that I am trying to help start a knitting business. They don't know much English and don't have jobs. They lived in refugee camps in Nepal for the past 20 years. But, they do know how to knit! So, looking for all kind of knitting supplies to help them. Anything would be great.

Thank you for a chance at a book. I am interested in the knitting workshop book, probably could not handle the knitting beyond the edge book. I like the new sweater you are woking on, maybe when I grow up I can knit like you. Enjoy your long weekend.

I love the fall. Can't wait for apple pies, leaves turning colors,warm Witches Brew (spiced wine),carmel apples, spice doughnuts, wearing warm handknits,tailgating,cider mills,etc!Knitting Beyond the Edge is a book I've considered buying for some time now and I would love to give it a nice home!ravelry name: fowlervillesdeb
